6. Operating Instructions
Your iMaihom LED Security Light offers two operating modes controlled by the photocell sensor:
6.1 Dusk to Dawn Mode (Default)
In this mode, the light automatically turns on when ambient light levels drop (at dusk/night) and turns off when ambient light levels increase (at dawn/day). No manual intervention is required.
- Ensure the transparent cap is installed on the photocell.
6.2 Switch Control Mode
To operate the light manually using a wall switch, you need to cover the photocell sensor.
- Replace the transparent cap on the photocell with the provided black cap. This blocks external light from reaching the sensor, allowing the light to be controlled by an external wall switch.
